Product Notes

Vietti Barbera d'Alba Tre Vigne is a fine wine produced in the Piedmont region of Italy. Made from 100% Barbera grapes, the wine embodies flavors of dark cherries, plums, and raspberries, with a hint of spice and oak. The aroma is complex, with notes of black fruits, tobacco, and vanilla. The wine is medium-bodied, with a smooth and elegant finish that stays with you long after your last sip. The grape vines are grown on three of the most prestigious vineyards in the area, adding an extra touch of excellence to an already superb wine. Perfectly paired with hearty dishes such as pasta with red sauce, grilled meats, and cheese, this wine is a must-try for any wine connoisseur.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red colour with ripe red cherry and vanilla aromas. Notes of violets and rounder body compared to Barbera d’Asti Tre Vigne. On the palate it shows bright acidity, sweet tannins with balanced integration of oak. Good complexity and a lingering cherry finish.

About the Winery

Though the idea for conceptualizing Vietti wines was sown during the 19th century, the brand started making its own wines only during the beginning of the 20th century. The first wines from the Vietti label were made during 1919 by Patriarch Mario Vetti, and the label has grown from strength to strength since then. By the 1950s, the Vietti winery became one of the top-producing wineries in the Piemonte region. By this time, this Italian wine label had also started exporting its wines to the USA.
